Our Goal

Ultimately, spiritual formation is about the heart. This is why:
It is mentioned hundreds of times times and in many different contexts throughout scripture (it’s a great study to do for your devotions – here’s a list of everywhere it’s mentioned)
We are told: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.’ Proverbs 4:23

The “heart” (in scripture) generally encompasses our thinking, our will and our emotions.
We want the hearts of our kids to lean toward God in all areas of their life so that everything they do is influenced “toward God”.
You may have noticed that HEART is capitalized in our definition. That is because there are 5 areas we can focus on (H.E.A.R.T.) to help us “guide kids toward a HEART for God” in partnership with parents. Here are links to these posts:
